featuring...
Live - ACM (Stable Music)
Melbourne local ACM, is known by many for his inspired, all hardware, live techno performances. Often playing with an element of improvisation, ACM keeps each set unique
and in the moment. ACM crafted his musical palette through his residencies as a DJ, playing house and techno at some of Melbourne’s most prominent nightspots. Those early days built the foundation for ACM’s live performance and production. A respected artist in the Melbourne techno scene for his experimental nature, ACM’s style is matured and characterised by his groovy bass lines, legato leads, and dreamy arpeggios.
Having supported some of the most revered names in house and techno, ACM aims to captivate his audience by drawing on his experiences as a DJ to tailor his sound live for the dance floor. With his execution thought out to the final reverberation, each element has its place in ACM’s live set.

Live - Tangent
Reuben Cumming, aka Tangent, is a newcomer to the Melbourne Techno scene with a huge love for polyrhythms and the squelch of a 303.
Previously, Reuben has worked as a sound engineer, sound designer and musician in both theatre and live music, having studied guitar and west African rhythms from a young age.
After years of performing in bands, his interest in technology combined with the frustration of being limited to a single instrument led him to live guitar looping and eventually, to creating live techno.
Reuben’s eyes were opened to the world of electronic music by artists such as Radiohead, Omar S, Honeysmack and particularly Four Tet’s productions and live performances, drawing him to live techno and producing dance music.
His love for techno was cemented when he discovered acid house and the sound of the Roland Tb303.
In his current live and hybrid sets, Reuben goes on an energetic, unpredictable and often improvisational tangent of techno which has been built from years of knob twiddling and party DJing.

DJ Set - Lani G (Bass Station)
Known for her infamous Madasss warehouse parties and smouldering sets. Lani G has been a stalwart on the Australian underground scene for the last 21 years.
Starting out playing gabba of all things, Lani has come along way and only now feels she’s truly solidified her sound. Dj’ing and producing sharp, deep and dark techno and house.
Having supported the likes of Phil Hartnoll (Orbital), Shakta, Eric Powell, Mike Dearborn, HMC, Woody McBride, Paul Mac and more. This Melbourne rave queen is set to take you on a journey through a hard soundscape, where acid riffs go to feast.

The Databats - "of Water"

“of Water” is the first of two companion records exploring worlds beneath and beyond the surface. At turns dreamy, cavernous, and explosive, this record takes listeners on a descent through Earth’s water column, examining themes of biology, ecology, technology, and the proliferation of life throughout watery realms. As each track shifts focus to a different biome, its unique characteristics and inhabitants are reflected through various permutations of experimental electronic glitch-hop. This culminates in record as cohesive as a drop of water; and as heterogenous as the life within it. A record that, like water, compels you to taste, to touch, to take it with you.

Dive in, and don't forget to breathe.

Metamorph

The Metamorph: an ethereal cyber creature residing in a realm of fog and lasers, engineered by a gestalt techno hive-mind. It’s here to make you dance.

Metamorph is a collection of underground electronica inspired by global rave culture.
The tracks herein are a representation of the energetic, kinetic nature of modern dance music; ecstatic trance by way of gross vibration. Lovingly conceptualised, produced and curated for your cerebral consideration, Slice's Metamorph offers up a collision of techno, acid, psy-tech, and progressive tech-trance.

Many thanks to Clint Grierson (Point Zero Productions,) for providing the visual component to this release; to the musicians who spend their time perfecting their craft for us all to enjoy, Ben Heppel aka Stickleback for your ongoing support and brilliant mastering, and to everyone who sustains and evolves the worldwide phenomenon of electronic dance music.

Jimmi-Woods "Into the Outside Release


We are very proud to announce the release of Jimmi-Wood's album "Into the Outside"! 
- Download for free for a limited time from Bandcamp
- Stream on Spotify
- Purchase from iTunes 

Into the Outside is a tribal techno oblation; an exploration of mystical states induced by unbroken concentration on hypnotic aural stimulus.

Deep rhythm leads us in. Eyes rolled back, the trance is initiated.
Echoes of temple bells and crackling electricity can be felt;
sensory impressions of another plane are transmitted' synesthetically.

Each track is a unique and dynamic tale of living and breathing entities progressively revealing their presence to the experient.
The guiding force behind the music is the brilliant light which lies
beyond the entry to our Platonian cave, yet still a seam of obsidian
darkness permeates this artifact.

Jimmi-Woods' extant spirituality is always present in his work, and dictates the underlying concepts presented therein.
The medicament administered by the elder shaman is a mixture of atmospheres that float between tech infused tribal drums and psychedelic sounds, organically woven together.

Ancient tribal teachings and experiences are passed down from one
generation to the next; Into the Outside is a modern rite of passage
presented by our beloved Jimmi-Woods and the Slice collective.

dyLAB - Submission

Machine soul music crafted with love from his studio on the Mornington Peninsula, dyLAB presents Submission. This sub mission goes pretty deep, dragging down well below the flowing undercurrent.With this arsenal of analogue sounds, Submission invites you to come and share
it. dylab's 'Submission' is just a Slice of what this talented and prolific local artist has to offer for lovers of acid techno.

Available from:

dyLAB makes acid.
He is an English born but Melbourne based acid music producer.
Described as a “box banger”, he likes to tinker with his collection of analogue synthesisers and drum machines. He manipulates the sounds that come out of these machines, and shapes it into what some call essential melancholic dancefloor music. This music should be listened to in dark clubs or darker rooms.
Over the past 10 years he has crafted a solid body of music, releasing tunes on such labels as Acid All Stars, Handmade Acid, BWLR, Council House Records, Clan Destine Records, New York Haunted, Balkan Records, and TRAX, in addition to his own self released work via his Bandcamp site.
